"Cora', all right now. Frost may
come when it pleat es, but it can't touch I
the golden grain. Corn is cafe and corn
is king tbis year, both in quantity and
quliiy. L8tweek'a weather settled it.

the yellow grain Wjond tte reach of
danger from autumn's white mantle.
Fred Ward visited his country farm the
other day, and be reports corn hanging
on the sulks thicL enough and heavy
enough to knock a man down who would
attempt to rush through between the
lines.
Mr. Ward also reports peaches and all
fruits in good yie d. The Rack Island
county peach has Uossomed out in all its
clry this year. Mrs Ben Liflin, of Tay

This afternoon a telegram came from
tbe Union stock yirdt, Chicago, signed

assurance: "I will write you tomorrow.
Two months ago tbe same man stole

Mr. .Lias proposes to see if it is not to

An Anniversary.
On Saturday night Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Guff, of South Rrck Islard, were pleas
antly reminded that it was the eighteenth
anniversary of th ir marrisge, by about 40
couples of their f -lends who assembled at
a neighbor's and descended upon them in
a body, not forge ting to take along two
elegant chairs which were presented to
Mr. Gof? and wife in a few well chosen
remarks. After n feeling response by tbe
recipients nf the presents, the visitors
were royally entertained and were soon
making merry dancing on a nicely ilium
inated platform until 11 o'clock when a
bountiful supper was served which was a
compliment to the host and hostess.
Shortly after the guests departed carrying
with thtm lastiDg recollections of one of
tbe most pleasant tvenings they had ever

A Ki.sal !.
That picturesque high class drama, "A
Royal Pass," with George C. Staley es the
star, is down for next Friday evening at
Harper's theatre. This attraction should
command the attention of our theatre'
gcingjpublic. X.t. Staley stands without
a rival as a German dia'ect comedian and
sweet sieger. Ti e play has been entirely
revised since latt season and a large
amount of enjoyable comedy has been
added. There a e numerous new songs,
one of which, called -Little Rogue's
Asleep," as sung by Mr. Staley. is creat
ing a sensation. Manager Parker has
surrounded Mr. Staley with a fine com.
pany,kand guarantees a great perform

upon the congrejtion. He is a youns:
man, his sermon are scholarly and his

sermon was devoted to the reciprocal re

how greatly the necessity of the church
depended upon the co-operation ana

Electric cr 40, wilh Frank Brehford
motorman,, collided with a buggy at the
intersection of Fourth avenue and Four
teenth street at about 9:15 last night.
Tbe buggy and horso attached belonged
to W. C. Maucker.
A. Carver, of Hannibal. Mo., a C. B.
& Q. switchman who had eneaeed it for
the afternoon. Carver bad eviaenlly
exceeJed tte bounds of discretion in
providing himself with the refreshing am
oer fluid durinz the dty and was appar
ently not familiar with his bearings when
the car s ruck him. At anv rate ihe horse
was at a standstill with the buggy directly
on the tries. Ths colliding
convrg up ?ourlh avenue and Motorman
Brelsford not only rang his gong furiously
but screamed at the occupant of the
buagy. at tbe same time shutting oft bis
current and reversing his motor. The
car struck the rig with much less forca
than it would otherwise, hut f!rwr
was thrown out or attempted to jump and
whs thrown down. The back wheels of
the buggy wtre smashed, but otherwise
the tig e.-caped unharmed. Carver wan
rarried into C J. Long's residence near
ty and later conveyed by Capt. Long of
the police, on a stretcher to the Hofjl
Gordon on Market square. Thtre Dr.
Ludewig examined the injured man and
found no bones broken,and a few bruises
the extent of the injuries.
People in the neighborhood state that
the horse and buggy stood at the corner
of Fourteenth street and Fourth avenue,
with tha mm asleep on the seat for fully
five minutes before the car approached,
and probably the horse wandered off and
got directly on the track when it stopped.
Moterman Brelsford, who has tbe repu
ta:ion of being one of the most expert
men on the system, by his promptness
and control of the motor, doubtless saved
the man's life.
Richard Stanton, an old mn over 60
years of age, rtsiding at 821 Second ave
nue, fell while attempting to alight from
an eltctric car on Second avenue between
Nineth and Tenth s'-reets on Saturday
cytnin ai.d was picked up
and taken to hU home near by. He was
found t.ot to be etriously ii jured though
he received a severe bruise on the right
8de of the bend ana was badly shaken up.
John Ileidcrnann, residing on Aiken
street, was thrown from his wagon by his
team which took fright at an ilectric car
and ran away on Saturday evening. Mr.
Heidemtnn sustained a compound frac
ture of his riht ank'.e. He was attended
by Dr. Piummer and is now getting along
nicely considering his age which is 65
years.

noon in the course" of which Lloyd threw
a brick at Haegarty and the latter
responded with a righthander on the in
spector's nasal appendix. But for the
timely interference of the mayor the oc
currence might have warranted a more
extended notice.
Messrs. Robert Wagner, Gustaf Sten

Henry Geisler left this afternoon for

Etlw jide & Walsh commenced tbis
afternoon to remove the snd from the
pavement from Twentieth street east on
Fourth avenue. When the esnd is taken
off that intersection at Twenty-third
street and Fifth avenue it will reveal a
job of patchwork which will likely be as
much of an eye-sore to the contractors as
to other citizens having pride in the
appearance of things. I; is surprising
that in the failure of Inspector L!oyd to
properly attend to it the contractors
should have neglected observing some
decree of uniformity in the paving of tbe
space between the tracks.
